I love New Year's. It's one of my favorite holidays. It's the time of year when I reset our life, and try to get organized. I am looking forward to 2014 and am unbelievably excited to be posting my first Menu Plan Monday post for the new year, although I guess you could technically say it is my last Menu Plan Monday post of 2013, but I like to look forward, not behind me so I am going with it is my first Menu Plan Monday post of 2013!

So here's what I have planned for us this week:

Monday - Eating Out

Yeah, I know it is a bad way to start off the week but we have too many errands to run and it will result in eating out.

2013 was a crazy year for me and unfortunately I didn't get to blog as much as I would have liked. However, the posts that did make it to the blog in 2013 proved to be quite popular. Here is a look back at the five most popular blog posts to The Modern Day Mom for 2013.

Our second most popular post of the year was the Valentine's Day Treats to Make. This post was a round-up of our favorite Valentine's Day Treat ideas and was popular throughout the month of February and beyond!

Our Maple Apple Crisp Recipe was tied with our Valentine's Day Treats to Make post but it received far more Pins on Pinterest. This simple recipe is easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious! It was one of my favorite on the fly recipes of the year!

Our Cinnamon Vanilla Pancakes recipe was our fifth most popular post and was a huge hit on Pinterest! These pancakes are easy to make and the post includes freezing instructions.

Our Most Popular Post of All Time

Although it was written waaaaay back in 2009 I thought it would be fun to include our most popular post of all time. It is back before the days of Pinterest and it doesn't have any pictures. I have had multiple people contact me saying I need to edit the post to include pictures so that it can be pinned and updating the post with pictures is on my to-do list for 2014. So our most popular post of all time is our Bread Machine French Bread Recipe. If you are looking for a simple and delicious bread machine recipe you really need to check this post out!
